An air-to-air heat pump takes heat from the outside air and releases it indoors as warm air — the same equipment as reverse-cycle air conditioning, sized and set up for heating.
Leicester and surrounding areas
Leicester has the full mix of premises that need cooling and heating: offices, shops, restaurants, gyms, clinics and technical rooms.
Postcode districts we cover in Leicester include LE1 and LE19. We also work in nearby Oadby, Wigston and Earl Shilton.

From enquiry to handover in Leicester
Heat loss survey
We assess fabric, glazing and ventilation to size for winter as well as summer.
Design
Units are chosen for their heating output at low outdoor temperatures, not just their cooling rating.
Install
Outdoor units go where defrost water can drain safely and air flow is not restricted. In Leicester we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set controls
Schedules and set-backs are configured so the system heats efficiently.
Things to check in Leicester
Air direction
Warm air rises, so units are set to direct air down when heating.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Leicester are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Defrost water
Outdoor units shed water and ice when they defrost. They need a drained position away from walkways.
Working hours
Most Leicester businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
